Is Celine Dion the best singer in the history of the world?

Best or loudest?

I didn’t know Celine Dion invited Ana Gasteyer onto the stage to perform with her.

That’s a good sport.

We love you Celine!

Sad, last days.

She is da greatust singah in da wurld.

Oh brother.

In her prime, her vocals were hard to beat. Same for Steve Perry.

R7 agree with both of these. Their primes were unmatched.

Wow! Celine posts on Datalounge!

Judy Garland is the best singer.

Not a chance! Shirley Bassey is the Queen!

Barbra Streisand, Judy Garland and Aretha Franklin, hands down. Better tone and timbre and much better artists.

Shirley had a great voice and produced some spectacular vocals but her camp sensibility diminished her artistry- ditto Celine.

Judy was one of the most talented singers ever. She also had a lot of pain and struggle throughout her life. Despite that, she had a good heart, which is hard to encounter in Hollywood. At a time when gay people were oppressed beyond belief, they identified with her struggles and she theirs.

Lulu is superior.

Certainly the gawkiest singer in the history of the world.

La veuve Angélil.

She’s a little stiff, no?

I like Karen Carpenter.

No.

Stiff.

She is a poor man’s Ashlee Simpson.

I hear she bit her husband's head off after they mated.

YES!

Whitney Houston

Celine is great. But the greatest? Well, she is certainly up there among the greats.

Whitney

R24 That performance was in playback and the track was pitch corrected.

She was hilarious as Celine. That SNL cast used to rock.

How is it even possible that a French Canadian couldn't speak even a little bit of English?

Was she home schooled, or something?

R30 You do realize she grew up dirt poor. At least I remember reading that or something.

And what was all this fuss about?

She refused an award at this ceremony, as only the very dramatique Celine Dion can do.

Never could stand her voice.

My vote is for Eva Cassidy.

Is Celine losing her hair?

Or is it just thinning?

Hair loss is symptomatic of anorexia.

Too much...there's an arrogance about her voice. Can't explain it.

She has that same dorky awkward quality that Garth Brooks projects. They are embarrassing to watch. Equally cheesy.

OP's question is beneath contempt. If the answer isn't me, it is certainly one of my peers.

Sometimes her singing can sound a bit stiff.
